Actuarial, Risk and Quants Graduate Programme at PwC 2018

No matter which area of the business you choose to join, all graduate programmes offer the same deal: the opportunity to grow as an individual, to meet new people, and build relationships that will stay with you for life.

Our graduate training programme is underpinned by a development framework that broadens and deepens your knowledge. You'll learn from hands-on coaching and an outstanding variety of work. You'll gain business, personal and technical skills you can use across the business and throughout your career.

All our people need to demonstrate skills and behaviours that will support us in implementing our business strategy. This is important to the work we do for our business and our clients. These skills and behaviours make up our global leadership framework: The PwC Professional.

ARQ

On the ARQ programme, you'll learn how to use complex financial and statistical theories to weigh up risks and estimate the odds of what might happen. Just as importantly, you'll develop a flair for presenting your findings in simple, easy-to-understand language. What's more, early client exposure will broaden your experience.

As an actuary, you'll work with uncertainty. Using complex financial and statistical theories to calculate the likelihood of events, you'll work out what that means financially for clients. Our work makes a difference in determining insurance premiums, managing financial risks for banks, or establishing a company's retirement plan.
